Hi all,
Welcome to all of our new members! We are very happy to have you here and we look forward to meeting you all in the near future. A big thank you to Farah Dhauri for representing the VNC during the base days in July.In this month’s newsletter we will update you on a few items that have been discussed during our monthly meeting with the company and other matters that are of importance for our membership.Monthly meeting- Bespoke rosters
We have received signals from members on bespoke rosters that crewing officers are not adhering to the memo’s that have been placed on your rosters. When being called out of standby for a duty that does not reflect the limitations of your bespoke roster, inform the crewing officer involved. Any code they may put on your roster will be changed by management once you have informed them about the incident. Feel free to contact us if you face any issues resolving this matter.
- Contacting AMS base management (email trial)
From the 1st of August AMS management will run a trial for three months with new email inboxes. For each community (pilots and cabin crew) there is a separate inbox and an inbox for absence and return to work reporting. Please remember that you always have to report absence via crewing (e-crew portal or by phone) and base management.

Addition to easyJet section teamAs most of you know in a few months from now the negotiations for the next CLA will commence. During the negotiations we will of course still be available for individual advocacy and questions related to your employment.
